HI all,

We have a customer who has 2 x 50 kWp solar arrays (one with SMA inverters; the other Delta) with a 50 kW export limit.
He currently has a Cluster Controller / Energy Meter set up and working fine to limit one of his 50 kWp arrays (SMA) to zero export.
The customer would now like to move the Energy Meter (and possibly the cluster controller) so that instead of being placed at his 50 kWp array configured to zero export, it is placed at the DNO import meter point, with the Cluster Controller then being reprogrammed for 50 kW export.
The distance between the SMA inverters and the DNO point is 260m. We understand the maximum distance between the inverters and Cluster Controller (or the Cluster Controller and the Energy Meter) is 100m.

Does anyone know what we can use to boost the signal to stretch this length? Ive been told about various boosters but wondered if anyone here had used anything on some remote locations they know works?

Thanks
